What can I expect at a session?
Each session is really relaxed – we start with an informal online cuppa, chat and brief introduction to the SPACE host/team. After that, there’ll be a chance to listen to a short Q&A/interview with a guest speaker who will share a bit about their own previous experiences and journey through infertility or loss - what helped, what didn’t, and how they coped.
There’ll also be a chance for participants to ask any questions - whether that’s about navigating the practical challenges of healing from a miscarriage, exploring various infertility treatments, emotionally processing grief, coping with seasons of waiting, experiences of fostering or adoption… or something else entirely!
Anyone who has experienced infertility or loss at any stage of pregnancy, whether recently or in the past, is welcome to attend our sessions and to participate at whatever level feels comfortable.
That means you can come and say as much or as little as you like, ask questions and share your own experiences, post comments in the chat box, or to just listen in quietly , with your camera on or off…
It’s your space!
